As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) will switch things up for his upcoming rematch with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs). The boxer usually starts his camp in Mexico and then heads over to San Diego in California, but this time around he's traveling over, along with his team led by Chepo and Eddy Reynoso, to begin a high altitude camp on March 3 or 4 in the mountains of Colorado. They feel the high altitude camp is necessary to be in the very best condition for the rematch. "We will arrive in Colorado on March 3 or 4. There we intend to take advantage of the high altitude. We already have the sparring ready, now Saul is working with Alexis Salazar, an middleweight we have in the gym and with whom we have have been moving. Once we are over there [in Colorado], the European sparring will arrive," said co-trainer Chepo Reynoso to ESPN Deportes. The decision to make this training camp change is vital, from the point of view of the team, because they want the highest level of physical preparation. "I believe that he only needs to arrive in excellent physical condition, he needs to throw more punches, which in my opinion was exactly what was missing in the close rounds, which he could have taken by throwing 5, 6 or 10 more punches... that would have been the difference for the closes rounds give them to him (Canelo) and there would be no room for doubts," said Chepo.

If you’re a risk taker| ambitious | with an entrepreneur mindset, And would love to be a part of the greatest organization message me.

Joseph Diaz Jr. can’t wait to get his shot at Gary Russell Jr. The undefeated Diaz, the mandatory challenger for Russell’s WBC featherweight title, expects to challenge Russell sometime in May or June. First, the 2012 American Olympian will keep busy Thursday night, when he’ll meet Mexico’s Victor Terrazas in a 10-round fight ESPN2 will televise from Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California (11:30 p.m. ET). The heavily favored Diaz (25-0, 13 KOs) isn’t overlooking Terrazas (38-4-2, 21 KOs), but the southpaw from Downey, California, knows facing Russell will provide the opportunity to prove himself against an elite-level opponent. Diaz would be an underdog against Russell, but he is confident he’ll knock off Russell (28-1, 17 KOs), who has lost only a majority decision to Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs). “I think he’s a very talented fighter,” Diaz told BoxingScene.com regarding Russell. “I truly believe that he has the quickest hands in boxing. But he does have a lot of flaws inside his game. I feel like I’m gonna be able to showcase to everybody the flaws that he does have and come out victorious. I know that he doesn’t fight often, and that probably will be his downfall, especially with a young fighter like me that’s staying active, that is hungry.” “I feel like he needs to stay a little more active,” Diaz said. “He might not feel it, but it takes a toll in the long run – not only because you’re not fighting and getting that actual fight feel, but his age as well. He’s getting older and every year your body gets older, your reaction time and your speed gets slower. I feel like that’s all gonna pay dividends come fight night.” Diaz, 25, also dismissed Russell’s taunts about Golden Boy Promotions protecting Diaz and not really wanting Diaz to fight him. “I just think he’s covering his own bases, man,” Diaz said.

”He’s not listening. He’s not learning. He hasn’t learned since 2014. He can’t move forward with his boxing career unless some big changes are made or unless he can get some magic dust somewhere for his boxing skills, because they’re absolutely terrible. I think he should move back down to the journeyman level and twaddle around there for the next year or 2, because he’s never going to beat someone like me,” Saunders said to Behind The Gloves
